Hey does anyone know what I am talking about here: Have you ever seen vids of those guys (I think they are in europe) who climb up the side of buildings with no ropes? They make some pretty incredible moves. I am just wondering if there is a name for this insane sport, or a cool website with vids and pics somewhere?

There's parkour too.

That's more people jumping up the sides of buildings then jumping off them.

Google that as well.

Its Called parkour or freerunning. I have an article in the Halifax Commoner about it but haven't had a chance to read it.

If a husband speaks in the woods, and his wife is not there to hear him...is he still wrong?

Anyone see the video that was online where the guy chimney 8 floors of an appartment building.

It was cool, it was right in front of the windows of the building so he'd stop and talk to people.
